Reviews for Paddle Battle 2

[TKBruiser]

well...

it was ok, but it has SO many problems with it, and if you fix those problems, then this will be a great game:

i played a good 5 times through. heres the problems:

1. a game started with the ball going completely vertical. not only that, but there were no power ups to change it's direction or speed, so that game consisted of nothing but watching the ball go up and down. i had to restart the whole thing.

2. it is hard to know what buttons do what. a help page might be nice. i need to know what the power ups do.

3. the ball automatically starts, and that is NOT cool. for someone who's first time playing, he might not even know the game is going on. add in maybe a "click to start" option. that would help.

4. the ball has the same angle of reflection every time, no matter where the ball hits the paddle. this is a huge problem, that is why my #1 on the list of problems happened. do something to make the angles different.

as faulty as it is, i still gave it a 2, when it really deserves a 1, because i see a lot of potential.

this is helpful criticism. dont flame me for giving my views.

Over-Kill responds:

Thanks for the input. You see I wanted the balls bounces to be realistic. In the first game they ball bounced randomly off the paddles in random directions. I changed it to keep it's course. I'll keep these in mind. Thanks for the critisim again.

Another nice game!

Although... didn't you submit the first part earlier today or something? Cause I remember reviewing that one too.

Over-Kill responds:

So I did. Both were made today. :D take that 2 games in one day.

It's alright, I suppose.

As much good as this game could be, the AI is dumber than a sack of rocks. Work on that and maybe it'll do just fine. I got bored too easily.

Over-Kill responds:

You'll see much more complicated and smarter AI from me in the future. It wasn't my priority in this game.
Thanks.

Nice update of pong....

.... and anarkanoid.... and intergalactic tennis (flash game) and.... and.... Tennis itself! Seriously, this is a pretty good game due to the power-ups that change the game play at a moments notice (so its NOT just a ball going back and forth between the paddles).

Liked the music too. Nice flash.

Over-Kill responds:

Thanks for the great review. Glad you enjoyed it.

Good, but it doesnt actually work.

The ball doesnt go from side to side, at all! I just kept the paddle in the same spot and so did the computer, nothing happend, it just bounced back and forth between each paddle, in a perfectly straight line. Yeah that needs to be fixed, after all, its the entire game.
